More quotes by Bruce Forsyth
No one - apart from my agent, perhaps - should leave one of my shows in tears.
Bruce Forsyth
I met my darling wife Wilnelia in 1980 when we were on the judging panel for the Miss World contest at the Royal Albert Hall. With two ex-wives and five daughters, I thought I wouldn't be involved with anyone for a long time - if ever. Winnie was so gorgeous, my jaw dropped - and it's a big jaw to drop.
Bruce Forsyth
Although I'm predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.
Bruce Forsyth
There are enough tears in any child's life we certainly don't need to add to them in the name of entertainment.
Bruce Forsyth
It's important for a dancer to wear very tight underpants. I used to feel a bit exposed if I wasn't being held up in the right place.
Bruce Forsyth
Not working is bad for you. It is my drug, it gives me a high most performers will tell you that. And there is nothing like the high that an audience gives you.
Bruce Forsyth
I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.
Bruce Forsyth
I can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.
Bruce Forsyth
Once you've experienced the warmth of an audience, the achievement of getting your first laugh, and entertaining them, singing or playing piano, it just keeps it all going.
Bruce Forsyth
It's sad when you see most of your friends in the business gone, like Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howard, Eric Morecambe, Roy Castle, Les Dawson. They were very dear to me. You no longer have the chance to bump into them at a celebrity do.
Bruce Forsyth
Just doing any kind of work - even an interview for breakfast television - makes me feel happy.
Bruce Forsyth
Little did I know that there's nothing more competitive in the world than a professional ballroom dancer. They are as competitive as Olympic athletes.
Bruce Forsyth
The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don't find very often, then that is what love is all about.
Bruce Forsyth
If I couldn't move, I don't know what I would do. That would be terrifying for me I don't know how I'd cope with that.
Bruce Forsyth
If I go out one night, I must stay in the next. It's the same with my golf. If I play one day, I don't play the next. I try to pace myself.
Bruce Forsyth
Nice to see you, to see you nice
Bruce Forsyth
When you've been brought up in variety, I think timing is always important in your life. If I'm ever late for anything, whether it's personal or business, I always apologise. 'I'm sorry I'm late,' and all that. And if somebody is late meeting me, I expect them to say 'I'm sorry I'm late.' It's just, shall we say, showbiz etiquette of my day.
Bruce Forsyth
When I married Wilnelia, one of the first things I wanted to know about Puerto Rico was the quality of the golf courses.
Bruce Forsyth
Some people hate the sight of me as soon as they see me on television. They loathe the look of me, and I accept that from the days of variety. I would walk on and some people would open a newspaper and think, 'He's first on, so he can't be any good.' I accept that.
Bruce Forsyth
On stage, I think I'm 35. Working takes over my whole body and I become a younger man - that's why I won't stop.
Bruce Forsyth
